Retina Node v1.0.0: The Foundation of Wison’s Immersive Streaming Vision

The Retina Node v1.0.0 is built using a combination of well-established technologies and open-source libraries with proven performance metrics and extensive ecosystem support. This architecture aligns with Wison’s vision of delivering an immersive, future-ready streaming platform. Core protocols leveraged by Wison include User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and Sockets, along with many other open-source technologies that enable a unique and competitive feature set.

These nodes form a distributed network, facilitating the decentralized transfer of streaming data between peers. To optimize performance, the nodes are designed to operate directly on the available CPU cores of the hosting hardware. While the minimum hardware requirement to join the Retina Network is a two-core CPU, the system is flexible enough to operate even on a single-core CPU. However, to maintain reasonable incentives and service quality, the baseline for optimal operation is set at two cores.

Within the network, nodes are selected based on load-balancing criteria. Nodes are ranked in ascending order of load and placed into a pool of eligible nodes that fall below a dynamically calculated threshold. This threshold is determined by the total number of nodes and their individual load metrics. From this pool, a node is randomly selected to provide the required service, ensuring efficient distribution and accessibility for users while maintaining optimal performance across the network.
